💥💥💥💥💥 VIEW AND REVIEW!! 2020 CAROLINA CARPORTS 30 X 40 SHOP BUILD FROM START TO FINISH!!!!

[@natterman2037]

I live near Salisbury. A little outside there. I've heard of Carolina Carports! Nothing but good things! Your shop is awesome

[@murf77donnelly33]

Dude in camo day 1 had a yellow shirt on day 2. All photos he was never working lol love my 30x24x9 I have one 16x8 reg garage door I love it

[@BOSSC351sProductions]

Yea, the original guy quit and this was the supervisors cousin or something that he brought in. He was new new so he was learning.

[@jimcole6423]

The brush finish floor like you have done is best, hands down. Slick finish floors are dangerous.

[@jdub229r]

Got a 25x24 coming. I researched flooring, ended up using Prosoco CS/LS hardener densifier right after they cut the relief cuts. Same type stuff used on industrial distribution & manufacturing slabs. Penetrates the top layer & makes it 2 to 3 times as hard as the initial hardness. Now all I need is a building...

[@donaldjackson1154]

Nice job !!!

[@BOSSC351sProductions]

Thank you!

[@joracer1]

Brushed floors hard to sweep, holds grease and dirt, I got a 8 x 14 epoxy floor with 5 years on it with heavy dirty feet traffic, still looks new... I got a 31 x 40 garage slick finish concrete with clear coat on floor going on 40 years still looking good. Work on cars lawn mowers, restore old jeeps, corvettes, many others, run race cars, floor is easy to sweep, clean, roll jacks on, creepers,.and it still looks good. Broom finished concrete is for outside. I wouldn't recommend it in a garage. But I'm glad you like yours....

[@LaLaLucky7777]

Looks great!!!! Trump 2024 baby !!!!

[@michealcannizzo100]

Just curious why you wouldn’t have them do a slick finish on the slab?

[@BOSSC351sProductions]

Well for one.... its slick and slippery. Water, oil, and grease added to the situation makes it worse. Imagine a vehicle entering in one side and smashing though the other side because the tires sliding. Or slipping on some rain water mixed with oil residue. It happens. People pay extra to have their slab smooth but turn around and add friction material into the floor paint to get the grip back. Brushed just right, its rough but not to the point it hinders chair roller function. Like I said in the video, work will be performed in my shop. Although the paint I used looks great on the floor and it has been very durable I selected it for function first.

[@clinteast7476]

how much did cement cost,and labor for floor?

[@BOSSC351sProductions]

Total cost for concrete only was $4900. Rock/dirt was around $3000 with me spreading it.

[@Jordan-fg7ek]

Also how high is your shop from the ground to the peak of the roof

[@rastagrastag7784]

Was the total cost for concrete as well?

[@BOSSC351sProductions]

It started at $4200 but we ordered extra to fill in low spots instead of using dirt and rock. Total in the end cost me $4900 and I have a 4 to 6 inch thick slab in the middle.

[@rastagrastag7784]

@@BOSSC351sProductions i am sorry. What i ment was the 14,000.00 of the building was concrete included

[@markc01835]

how must was the shop build?I am in the marker for something similar.

[@BOSSC351sProductions]

A bit over $13000 on sale for the shop, $5700 for 4-6 inch slab plus the drainage/concrete I added at the front, about $1500 in dirt/rock for the foundation, $1200 for wiring supplies, $200 for RapidAir air line system, and I bought a small tractor for $5000 to work the dirt. All but building the shop and concrete slab work I did or am doing myself. I had extra expenses like a concrete mixer, hammer drill, and tool rentals but that was for my needs. When I have it wired and complete I will make an updated video to show what I have done and why.

[@markc01835]

@@BOSSC351sProductions Thank you, It helps determining on the size i want. I am thinking about 30x40 or a 40x40.

[@georgeshotrodbarn2113]

Why is the shop Ford colors?.

[@BOSSC351sProductions]

It isnt. The blue is King blue named for Richard Petty.

[@GB-nu8fq]

Nice shop! So a footing in the foundation is not required? Been trying to find out if I need one.

[@BOSSC351sProductions]

Only if code in your area requires it. The guy who did my slab asked me the day he poured it if I wanted footers and if yes it would have delayed the pour. I really don't know enough about why or if it is really needed but mine does not have them.

[@GB-nu8fq]

@@BOSSC351sProductions okay thank you.

[@rawimpact]

@@BOSSC351sProductions I don't understand it either. I mean most concrete is poured for 2500PSI, that number will NEVER be reached with the metal building. The whole thing doesnt even weigh 2500lbs probably let alone on a single inch.

[@KUBBI7488]

Looks beautiful! I’m about to order same size! How much was the shop price if u wouldn’t mind! Mine will cost me 30/40/10 $11.400

[@acetech9237]

As mentioned by BossC351, go to your building department. If you have a slab poured that doesn't meet requirements it will bite you in the ass. All it takes is a nosey or pissed off neighbor to call the county on you. Growing up around construction I can't tell you how many times I'd hear about someone just pouring a slab without footers where they were required and then having to tear it down. Imagine spending 20 grand for a fair sized garage and slab just to be told it has to come down.

[@MrJarrell76]

How long did it take for them to come out to install it and what was the install time?

[@BOSSC351sProductions]

Wait was a bit over 3 months and they started the afternoon of a Thursday, worked all day Friday, and finished the build just after 3 on Saturday. You must have your land or slab ready. Make sure your sales rep tells the company you are ready when you place your order. Also, if you have any building codes to meet on the slab or need building permits, you must have all of it in order before scheduled. If not it could delay everything severely.

[@MrJarrell76]

I have had everything since july 17th ready and now they are telling me that it mite be next spring that they get out to nj to install my garage

[@BOSSC351sProductions]

@@MrJarrell76 Are you talking directly with Carolina Carports or are you talking to the sales rep? If you have codes and permitting to meet they told me it takes longer.

[@MrJarrell76]

I spoke with both

[@jimcole6423]

@@MrJarrell76 Best of luck to you on that. CCI is difficult to work with in some aspects. Hold back final payment until you are happy with their work.

[@danielhowelljr9286]

I bought 1 from carolina carports, bad roll up door from the beginning, they want me to buy another door to replace it when this door has giving everybody problems that gets stuck with it according to the lead installer.

[@BOSSC351sProductions]

20 year warranty. Dog them till they replace it.

[@slither808]

How is it in the cold?

[@BOSSC351sProductions]

It hasn't been cold enough here just yet. However, I have two propane heaters to try out.

[@chrisreibold1634]

That building is nice. How do they compare to a equivalent sized pole building on price, strength and water intrusion under the walls?

[@BOSSC351sProductions]

I really can't answer that because I have no experience with other buildings. This one just withstood 70-80 MPH winds 2 days ago. Water intrusion depends on how your slab is. I have used Sika sealer around the outside perimeter and it keeps water out. I also installed garage door thresholds under the doors. Only other issue is the walk in door. I had the door installed 180° out from normal because I wanted a right hand inswing. Doing that defeated the door seal which normally keeps water out. So I just built my own door awning that will blockwater from hitting the door.

[@chrisreibold1634]

I see. Thanks for the reply and the info. Will come in handy if I purchase a building like yours. Have a good weekend!

[@DavidFlores-du3rm]

Are the doors 10x10 plenty of room to get in and out with your truck? I think I’m going with 12x10 to be safe

[@BOSSC351sProductions]

Yes, for me there is and without folding the mirrors in.

[@robfromtoledo9514]

I would like to also provide a start to finish video but been waiting over 15 weeks to get my garage. They are not real quick on delivery. not real good about answering the phone either.

[@Jordan-fg7ek]

Best part of the shop is the foxbody inside

[@danjam67]

Just to let you know seeing as you are a production company of sorts...your voice was too low to hear so I turned it up, then your music blew my head off, then I turned it down, then I could not hear you again. Maybe it would be a good idea to checjk your volume levels before you make someone's ears bleed.

[@BOSSC351sProductions]

No, im just an individual who makes videos. I have been trying to address this very issue but the phone I use is messing with the audio. I will lower music volume in future videos. Thanks and sorry!

[@wannabejeeper]

With all due respect; why not just make your slab 2" taller and not have to worry about rain water getting in, and having to put that drainage in?

[@BOSSC351sProductions]

It is taller. The problem I have is a LONG, LONG, LONG story and was mainly created by TXDOT and their idiot contractor who built the highway in front of my house. The way they changed the highway it now tilts at an angle toward my house effectively turning my driveway and yard into a river. The drainage I put in is to mitigate that and route the water in pipe to the back of my property. Really, it has little to do with the shop itself. Believe me, I would not have done it otherwise due to the expense of materials, equipment, and back breaking lifting 65+ bags of 80 lb concrete.

[@wannabejeeper]

@@BOSSC351sProductions Ah. Well sorry to hear that. Hopefully the extra effort paid off!

[@BOSSC351sProductions]

@@wannabejeeper Absolutely it has. We had a flood of hard rain about 3 weeks ago and it swallowed it up.
